Karamon Davis charged with aggravated assault, criminal mischief

A New Gloucester man is behind bars after allegedly attacking his mother's boyfriend with a sword, police say.

Karamon Davis, 21, was arrested late Friday night and charged with aggravated assault and criminal mischief.

The Cumberland County Sheriff's Department says around 10 p.m. Friday, Davis' mom told them he hit her boyfriend in the head with a large sword at their home on Rowe Station Road. The victim was taken to a Lewiston hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say Davis fled the scene before officers arrived, but was tracked down in the woods with the help of a K-9 team from Windham.

He was taken to the Cumberland County Jail and is being held on $1,000 bail.
